Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Bobby at 8K against Subra's 1. Bobby also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.6). Subra's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bobby sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Subra sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Subra holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bobby has 8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
